Both courses are to take place on Carteret Community College’s campus in Morehead City. Register for the courses through an online form. Tuition is $35.
During the one-day introductory course that covers the basics of natural shoreline stabilization techniques scheduled for 2-5 p.m. March 27 students will be able to learn about living shoreline concepts, construction and permitting processes, and hear an overview of different types of living shoreline projects.
Organizers said the course will prepare students to be familiar with effective stabilization options and considerations, as well as how to navigate the permitting process to install living shorelines within Carteret County.
The structures and design course scheduled for being offered April 3, April 10, April 17 and April 24, all from 2 to 5 p.m., is to offer participants information to consider for design, construction materials, and addressing vulnerabilities found commonly on the coast.
The course is going to focus on guiding designs for effective, research-based living shoreline solutions for projects based on visual assessments, organizers said. By the end of the course, students will be proficient in designing and utilizing appropriate materials for their projects.
